<b>Abstract:</b><br>

<p>For those tasked with managing eBusiness infrastructures, a significant

challenge exists in optimizing performance and avoiding the common

 problems faced when trying to launch or scale new eBusiness applications

  into production. These challenges include:

<ul>

<li>The frustration of piecing together performance information from

current "silo" management tool</li>

<li>Time wasted in manually scrubbing log files for the right data</li>

<li>Blame management, finger pointing and guesswork</li>

<li>Throwing more hardware at the problem</li>

<li>Costly downtime and its drain on resources</li>

</ul>

</p>

<p>

In this session you will learn about patented new technology for

managing and optimizing the performance of eBusiness infrastructures

built on application server technology such as BEA WebLogic

and IBM WebSphere.</p>

DIRECTIONS to MCNC:</h3>



<b>From Raleigh:</b>



<br>Take I-40 West toward Durham and Chapel Hill. You will enter RTP. Where



I-40 splits, bear right onto the Durham Freeway North (Highway 147). Take



the Cornwallis Road Exit. At the end of the exit ramp, bear right - cross



back over the Freeway. MCNC is located approximately 3/4 mile on the right.
